Welcome to Willoughby Close… a charming cluster of cozy cottages, each with a story to tell and a happy ending to deliver… Alice James has been a drifter her whole life, working her way through several foster homes before ending up in Wychwood-on-Lea, feeling anchorless and invisible. When a chance encounter leads to Alice accepting a position as a caretaker and companion to Lady Stokeley, she starts to feel as if she might finally be able to put down some roots and live the way other people do. Then, Lady Stokeley’s nephew, city banker Henry Trent, storms into Willoughby Manor, seeming to find fault with everything, including Alice. As the next in line to the manor and title, he threatens to upturn everything she’s started to build. But Henry is hiding his own secret fears and weaknesses, ones he's desperate for no one to discover. A surprising and inconvenient attraction that simmers between them leaves Alice feeling more confused than ever, and Henry torn between duty and desire, fear and love. When circumstances become even more difficult, both Alice and Henry must decide who they really are, and what they are willing to fight for. Could Alice possibly the next Lady of Willoughby Manor?

5.0 out of 5 stars The Willoughby Close book series is Delightful!

I just finished the four book series of Willoughby Close. Each book was its own lovely story filled with wonderful people and challenging circumstances. I laughed and cried as each one found friendship, love and purpose living and sharing together. I love imagining England, and hearing the different nuances in language and lifestyle was delightful

I've read several of the Willoughby Close novels by this author. They are very pleasant stories that take place in a small town in England. The characters show caring and support for each other as they face life's transitions. If you want a break from "heavy-reading" I highly recommend this series.

I just finished reading the last of the Willoughby Close Series. I loved this series so much but liked this one the best. I hate to leave my friends here but hope they continue in the Return to Willoughby Close Series. I would definitely recommend this series to anyone who loves good, clean stories that make you feel like you know each of them personally and are good friends.

This is the last story of Willoughby Close & it was a bit sad. This whole series has been delightful. They were all clean stories, so if you are looking for steamy sex scenes, you will have to look elsewhere. I found myself rooting for the characters to have their happily ever after & they did. This was a very good read!

The dying of Lady Dorothy and the need for a care giver to allow her to remain at home at Willoughby Manor to maintain her independence are the backdrop for this novel. Add in a overbearing nephew and a timid caregiver and how on earth can you make a romance novel? Add in a sharp witted matron and a little magic. Poof!

Of this series, I enjoyed Alice and Henry's story the most. So much character development, so much love. And it beautifully handled Lady Stoeckley's illness.

Having red others in this series was delighted to read this one and it was as good as the others.
Alice arriving and ending up looking after the lady of the Manor and the twists and turns of the story is told superbly.
it is a nice lose yourself for as long as it takes to read with the happy ending!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful last story
Reviewed in Germany on October 16, 2017

The choice of what one reads at any certain time, I think, is that one NEEDS at the moment. Reading is so wonderful because (if you are lucky-- or as time goes by able to pick an author who writes the words that satisfy...) as a reader you can be transported to a place (a vacation), meet new people that you would love to know and interact with, live through the characters eyes situations either easy, nice or maybe even scary ones that make your pulse race. We can transport through time and live a bit of history that we do not know enough of and want to or even live in worlds that are made up and has absolutely nothing to do with what we know is real. It all has to do with the talent of the author we have choosen and the way they pave the books we read.

Kate Hewitt is one of the authors (for me) that makes reading a book seem like watching life turn out the way we wish ours would. Well, maybe not quite like that, but maybe more aware of the choices we make all the time, with a satifactory explaination of why.

I loved the Willoughby Close series. I especially found that Marry me at Willoughby Close to be a fantastic last book in this series. Of course it was a bit kitchy but it was also a book that had very well developed complicated characters with difficult situations that were very carefully handled. I loved being able to picture the homes of the characters, the town, and especially the run down Manor house. It was all alive. The pefect comfort read, which sound trite and clichéd but honesty isn't...

I so enjoyed this series. Each a separate read, but tied together beautifully. Very different and interesting characters, all becoming real friends. I actually had tears and a lump in my throat reading this last one!
Just sad I have come to the end.

4.0 out of 5 stars Charming finale to a lovely series
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 6, 2019

In the fourth book of the series we were introduced to Alice James, a young woman who had been through various foster homes and nursed her grandmother until her death, before living rough until she was helped by Ava. Now, she has been employed as Lady Stokeley's live-in carer. Unfortunately, Lady Stokeley's nephew Henry Trent finds Alice thoroughly unsuitable and tries to sack her. Eventually they settle on a one month trial period, but as the time progresses Henry and Alice find they like each other more and more.

This is (currently) the final book in the charming Willoughby Close series and it's a classic romance between on the one hand the heir to a baronetcy and on the other a homeless woman, daughter of a drug addict and product of the foster care system. all aided and abetted by the feisty Lady Stokeley.

As is to be expected we see all of our favourite characters from the previous books as this series draws to a close.

These books can be read in any order, I think I read the fourth book first, but in order to enjoy glimpses into the developments in each character I recommend reading them in order.

If you ever find Katie Fforde heroes and heroines a bit two-dimensional then I recommend Kate Hewitt, her novels are what I always hope Katie Fforde's will be but so rarely are.
